I love when people try and go against the grain just for the sake of it, the show is good and there's nothing bad about it. If it's not you're kind of show that's one thing but it's popular for a reason.

The Oberyn-Tyrion scene in the dungeon was maybe my favourite of the season so far. It was a true "Fuck yeah!" moment. Even more than Lysa flying.

The character is not at all how I pictured him reading the books but overall, they nailed the essence of the character as best as they could. It turned out to be a great casting choice. I just wish they made it more clear how great of a fighter Oberyn is going into this battle.

Yeah. I agree. I feel like they done a very solid job at hyping up The Mountain.

The Oberyn-Tyrion scene was great. Tyrion's reaction just sold the "Fuck yeah!" moment. This season has been my favorite of the series so far. The acting and events are great.

Still on Storm of Swords, book 3, right? Just shows how crazy and awesome that book is. Even though the show added some elements from other books of the series and added their own thing. Some of the things that that they change are good, some are meh. But that's aside the point.

I think they've made it pretty clear what a badass Oberyn is and I'm not sure how they could have feasibly shown him at his best without completely sidetracking the many narratives they already have in progress. I mean, I guess they could have gone a little further with the whole altercation in the brothel during his initial introduction on the show, but then they also couldn't make the guy that he manhandled too good/important either, or he would have faced some sort of punishment since he put a sword through the guy's hand for basically no reason.

The actor was so wonderfully chosen, he has an aura about him that just says "badass" without him really having to show it... yet. You don't have that kind of swag if you're just some decent knight. The guy basically strolled into King's Landing openly declaring war on the Lannisters and, not only does no one dare to challenge him, they've actually been catering to him. That's a badass. I don't care who his family is or what rank he holds... His brazen disdain for the ruling family likely would not be tolerated if he wasn't such a legendary fighter.
